Last Journals and Class Notes due 5/20 2:30 PM

Class notes should include:

1.  Annotation and MC of Twain selection
2. Answer sheet to our Mock test of Multiple Choice
3. Deconstruction packet on Q3
4. Close reading packet with MC stems on front page
5. 20 different arguments using all the possible source combinations-ROOM FOR DEBATE
6.  ******PERIOD 4 ONLY****  Pronoun exercises 1-4.

If you did the journals as intended, you have spent the last eight months engaged in constant reading and writing about current long form and book length non-fiction.
This should serve you well in the future.

If you did not complete the journals as intended, you wrote wrote about 10,000 words total, failed to look up and learn somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-300 unknown words, and learned you can actually pour out 1200-1800 words in a crunch of 72 or 48 or maybe even 24 hours.
While this is far less valuable then the intended assignment, it is something.

Keep reading. Keep writing. Keep learning.
